IndyCar drivers Alexander Rossi and Conor Daly have already ran their first race of the New Year, but we’re not allowed to know where they finished.

The duo will appear on the 30th season of the CBS reality show The Amazing Race and have already filmed segments, but are sworn to contractual secrecy about what took place. Rossi and Daly make up Team IndyCar on the show and competed against 10 others tandems for a $1 million prize.

The series is hosted by Phil Keoghan and takes the two-person teams around the world as they compete in a series of challenges, some mental and some physical, and only when the tasks are complete do they learn of their next location. Teams farthest behind are gradually eliminated and the first team to arrive at the show's final destination wins.

The show is wildly popular and presents IndyCar an opportunity to showcase two of its most colorful personalities in front of a wider pop culture platform on national television.

"There are probably people who watch 'The Amazing Race' that have never seen an IndyCar race," said Daly in an IndyCar press release. "I think we'll probably open ourselves up to a different fan base."

The season premiere airs on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET and 7 p.m. Central and Mountain. A Team IndyCar preview can be viewed below.
